Team News

West Indies have dropped Kieran Powell and Jonathan Carter from their squad due to bad form, and on their places, the team has roped in Kyle Hope and Sunil Ambris.

In all probabilities, these two uncapped players will make their One-Day International debut in this game.

The man under the spotlight in the West Indian line up is Devendra Bishoo. The spinner has the capability to pick quick wickets in a low economy rate, and if he succeeds in finding the rhythm, then things will not be an easy deal for Virat Kohli and his boys.

On the other hand, India will not be open to making any changes to the winning eleven that played the previous matches. But the team management is quite keen to rope in Rishabh Pant who has recently hit a smashing triple century in first class cricket.

For the visitors, Shikhar Dhawan will lead the batting lineup, and he will be given adequate support by Ajinkya Rahane, Virat Kohli, and Yuvraj Singh. The Indian middle order is quite strong, as it is loaded with ensemble talents like Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Hardik Pandya, and Kedhar Jadhav.
